Do you hate going to the hairdresser?

the thought is always more hindering than the action
once you face your fear you've got nothing to lose although it's really hard if you got a condition like sp....sometimes it is not as simple as that.

Yeah i think that's true, thinking about it too much makes it worse so it's better to try not to focus on it.

I don't like the idle chitchat either, or the mirrors but i do like getting my hair washed. It's like getting a head massage, feels awesome

Wow, you guys actually get your hair cut? I know i'm a girl and all, but i haven't went to a hair dresser since i was 7.
I hated it because i had long hair and they trimmed it. So yeah, i haven't went since. Its grown alot, its gotten well past my waist

 

[thequietone]

Ha! This is so me.
I can't stand the hair dresser for two reasons:
1. I have fine but thick curly hair and people are always yanking it to get the tangles out Ouch!
2. Hairdressers love to talk. And I don't.

So in other words I sometimes trim my own split ends but otherwise I just let it go long.

Haha yes same here thequietone! I think they know me by now and that I might mumble a few things but I'll tend to shut up. It would be much easier if there wasn't a mirror in front of me cos I get very self-conscious about that...argghh

Yeah, I always get anxious when I have to go get my haircut. I especially hate calling in for an appointment. I like better to just go as a walk in. I'm also just always terrified that they're going to cut my hair too short. But I just have to keep telling myself that it's hair and it will grow back.

Like most things I think the first time is the hardest, it took me years to work up the courage to go to a Barbers, I was always afraid I wouldn't make myself clear and they would cut to much off or something like that. But I finally made a choice to go and now I don't have any problem with it, The Barbers aren't that talkative they are usually eager to get onto another customer and I have no problem with that.

i love getting my hair done. same with other beauty treatments such as facials, manicures, massages, etc. ... but sitting there & having to deal with all the "small talk" & questions about myself ... is extremely uncomfortable.

I always do or say really stupid things because so worked up about getting my hair cut. A hairdresser asked me what I was doing that day, and I told her I'd go shopping, go to uni for a while, maybe see a movie etc. Then she stared at me like I was crazy and said "...I mean, with your hair".

A couple of weeks ago I went to a place I'd never been. The guy put his hand out to take my bag, so it could be put out of the way, but I thought he was trying to shake my hand, so I grabbed it and shook it . He laughed a bit but by the end of the appointment he seemed annoyed that I wouldn't speak and he burnt my head with the hairdryer because he was trying to get it over with so quickly.

havent been for about a year, I dont like the hairstylist tries to chat with me something else besides hair.

 

[Pitrus]

I make my mom to cut my hair but its always short so its easy

 

[Chrysta]

I just go my hair cut again a few days ago. The girl cutting it was nice and I was doing just fine. Then she asked me a question (where do I work?) and I didn't answer because I didn't know she was talking to me because I am only 15. Then I realized who she was talking to and blushed because I just sat there.. she said I looked older than 15 and that's why she asked me in the first place. But after that incident everything went fine and I talked to her some. And I felt good about my hair afterwards.. all nice and soft.

 

[rado31]

i almost always did feel awkard at hairdressers ... i wish i can handle that on my own

 

[MsKip]

I hate going.
I have hair that reaches my bum, I can almost sit on it. So whenever I go to get it trimmed, the woman plays with it for about half an hour, saying "Oh lawd, isn't is goooorgeous?! : O", before actually getting anything done.

It's frustrating.

The main reason I have a very short buzz is so that I can do it at home, myself. I haven't been to a barbershop in two years. It's saved me a lot of anxiety.

lol typical hair salon. The one in my village I used to go to would basically have a meeting whenever someone came in. After 3 appointments I was like **** this and just started cutting it myself.
But Oh lawd your hair is goooorgeous lol

 

[mikestar]

I have low self esteem anyway so I dont like the way I look, But when you have to stare at a mirror and say if you like it or not, it makes it worst!
My hair looks really crap afterwards anyway as I just say yeah that will do just to get out of the place.
I've recently just had my haircut and I was kinda pleased with it, as my mums freind did it at her house

I thought I was the only one that gets terrified about going to the hairdressers. I am glad I am not alone. I only go twice a year cos I can't cope with going more often. I always make sure that I go to the ones where you don't have to make an appointment just go in and wait, otherwise I would be worrying over it for days before going. When I am sat in the hairdressers waiting to get my hair cut, sometimes the wait is around 1 ahd a half hours and I am sat there physically shaking i'm so terrified of what they are going to think of me. I always get asked so many questions its horrible. Why cant I just be left alone can't they see I am terrified.

I've only been to a barbershop once in the last 7 years. My parents cut it for me. Before that, I was a kid and they never tried talking to me. And 2 months ago when I went, the barber couldn't speak english. So it came as a shock to me that everyone here hate going to the barber.

 

[PunkRotten]

I used to go regularly in the past, pre-social anxiety. Now I dont bother, I cut it myself.

 

[Lorraine Manca]

Yes, I never go. The combination of having to make conversation while being infront of a mirror is awful. I'm too shy to even make eye contact with myself in the mirror. pathetic, hence long hair.
